The game opened up last night with California (minus Javid Best, who is still recovering from season related injuries) jumping out to an early lead 14-0. All looked lost early on for Utah, but the Utes stook to their gameplan and hung in their. Relying on execution and a stout Defense, Utah battled back.
Led by some early hard hits from the senior safety, Robert Johnson, the message was sent that if you come across the middle, then you are going to get hit.
As the game wore on, it was apparent that Utah was executing and scoring and overall this was an overmatched Cal defense. Cal appeared to be on its heels. This could just as much a tribute to Utah offensive scheme and playcalling last night. They were moving the sticks at will some times. The first half was capped by a dagger of a touchdown which came with 43 seconds left in the half. This late score put the Utes up by 10 points going into halftime.
In the end, the Robert Johnson led defense was too much for Cal. A late tipped ball Johnson led to an interception and a score. On the next drive Johnson interecepted a deep pass down the sideline and the game was all but over at this point. The Mountain West proved once again it can play with a "bigger" conference.
